On October 1, the Nuggets open their first training camp under coach Brian Shaw. With 15 players total and 14 of them already under guaranteed contracts (Quincy Miller’s is not), there were only a limited number of roster spots available for training camp.

Those will be filled by defensive-minded swingman Damion James and burly power forward Reginald Buckner. Both James and Buckner were added under non-guaranteed contracts.

What about Brian Shaw’s coaching staff? I’ve read passing mentions of his staff here and there, but absolutely no mention yet from the DP about who is on his staff. Which coaches from the George Karl era were kept? Which ones were dropped and where did they land? And who are the new coaches, what is their position and where did they coach before? And are there any changes to non coaching staff, such as trainers? And finally, any changes in management, under Tim Connelly, if so who came here and from where, and who left and where did they go?

An article on all of this would be of great interest to your readers. If you can’t muster an article, surely you can pop out a blog post on this. Readers would welcome it, so far it seems like a strange omission.
